Sr Automation Engineer
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
First, Title is given but we must not repeat as heading.
We need to extract:
- Work Schedule Standard (Mon-Fri) -> schedule info: "Work schedule will be standard 8-5, M – F fully onsite". Also earlier "Work Schedule Standard (Mon-Fri)". So schedule: standard 8-5, Monday-Friday, fully onsite.
- Environmental Conditions: "Able to lift 40 lbs. without assistance, Office, Some degree of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required (safety glasses, gowning, gloves, lab coat, ear plugs etc.)". This is maybe part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be under "Requirements" or "Physical Requirements". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can put physical requirement under Requirements or Qualifications. Probably Requirements.
- About the role: The paragraph after title: "As part of the Thermo Fisher Scientific team, you’ll discover meaningful work...". Also "Division/Site Specific Information Position will sit onsite at the Florence, SC site and will support the Drug Substance Division (DSD) at Thermo Fisher Scientific. This role, reporting to the Automation Manager, ensures the flawless support, maintenance, and implementation of automated systems at our Florence, South Carolina location." Also "Discover Impactful Work: As a Senior Automation Engineer at Thermo Fisher Scientific, you will optimize production processes, implement new automation technologies, and drive continuous improvement initiatives." Also "A Day in the Life: ..." So we can combine into About the role.
- Responsibilities: The list under "Key Responsibilities" with bullet points: Troubleshooting & Support, System Design & Implementation, Documentation, Compliance & Validation, Project Execution, Supervision. Also earlier tasks: "You will provide design, configuration, installation, and maintenance of automation software and associated hardware; including interacting with other teams as necessary.Working with IT, Quality, Production, and other departments, you'll optimize existing automated processes while ensuring consistent product quality and regulatory compliance.Your analytical skills and engineering expertise will help drive cost reductions, improve efficiency, and enhance manufacturing capabilities across our operations.Design, configure, and troubleshoot industrial I/O systems, including sensors, actuators, and field instrumentation, ensuring accurate signal mapping and reliable integration with control systems." That's also responsibilities.
- Requirements: Education: BS in Engineering, Computer Science or related Engineering/ Science field with 8 years of experience within regulated industries (pharmaceutical, medical device, or similar). Preferred: Experience would include at least 5 years of hands-on experience with the Emerson DeltaV or Rockwell PlantPAx commercial Distributed Control System. Also "Proven experience applying S88 in an automated environment and development of control system standards aligning with S88 methodology is required." Also "Experience developing and supporting either Rockwell PlantPAx or Emerson DeltaV as a commercial Distributed Control System including is required." Also "Hands-on experience with some of a broad range of Allen-Bradley PLCs and PanelView display products is preferred." Also "Experience with data historian program development, configuration, and maintenance with at least one of the following historians is required: OSI (AVEVA) PI, Rockwell FTHistorian, DeltaV continuous historian is required." Also "Experience with virtual machine environment and hypervisor software is preferred." Also physical: Able to lift 40 lbs. without assistance, Office, Some degree of PPE required.
- Qualifications: Might overlap with Requirements. But we can treat Requirements as qualifications. However we have both headings allowed. We need to decide what to put where. Usually Requirements = mandatory; Qualifications = preferred? But we can combine. Since we have both sections allowed, we can separate: Requirements = mandatory items; Qualifications = preferred items. Let's extract mandatory vs preferred.
Mandatory (required):
- BS in Engineering, Computer Science or related Engineering/ Science field with 8 years of experience within regulated industries (pharmaceutical, medical device, or similar).
- Proven experience applying S88 in an automated environment and development of control system standards aligning with S88 methodology is required.
- Experience developing and supporting either Rockwell PlantPAx or Emerson DeltaV as a commercial Distributed Control System including is required.
- Experience with data historian program development, configuration, and maintenance with at least one of the following historians is required: OSI (AVEVA) PI, Rockwell FTHistorian, DeltaV continuous historian is required.
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and technical drawings with working knowledge of basic electrical circuits as related to I/O specification, selection and configuration (under Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities)
- Exhibited knowledge of S88 batch control and configuration (under Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities)
- Exhibited knowledge of batch reporting is required
- Working knowledge of database structure including SQL Server, with experience in data queries, support, and basic database management
- Working knowledge of IT/OT networking including managed switch, VLAN and firewall configuration and management
- Strong knowledge of GMP and life sciences regulatory requirements.
- Proficiency in PLC programming, HMI/SCADA systems, DCS platforms, and industrial networking.
- Able to lift 40 lbs. without assistance, Office, Some degree of PPE required.
Preferred:
- Experience would include at least 5 years of hands-on experience with the Emerson DeltaV or Rockwell PlantPAx commercial Distributed Control System.
- Hands-on experience with some of a broad range of Allen-Bradley PLCs and PanelView display products is preferred.
- Experience with virtual machine environment and hypervisor software is preferred.
- Proficiency in PLC programming, HMI/SCADA systems, DCS platforms, and industrial networking (actually that is also under Knowledge, Skills, Abilities maybe mandatory? It says proficiency in PLC programming... under Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Could be considered required. We'll keep as required.
- Also "Experience developing and supporting either Rockwell PlantPAx or Emerson DeltaV as a commercial Distributed Control System" appears both required and preferred? It says required earlier. We'll treat as required.
- Also "Experience developing and supporting either Rockwell PlantPAx or Emerson DeltaV as a commercial Distributed Control System" appears in Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities as required.
Thus we can separate.
Skills: Could be under Skills heading: list of skills like PLC programming, HMI/SCADA, DCS, industrial networking, SQL, IT/OT networking, etc. But we already have many under Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. Could put under Skills.
Benefits: "We offer competitive remuneration, annual incentive plan bonus, healthcare, and a range of employee benefits. Thermo Fisher Scientific offers employment with an innovative, forward-thinking organization, and outstanding career and development prospects. We offer an exciting company culture that stands for integrity, intensity, involvement, and innovation!" So we have benefits.
Pay: Not specified. No pay info. So we should NOT include Pay section.
Schedule: we have schedule info.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Schedule.
We must not include empty sections.
Now format: Use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific systems, etc.
We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
Now construct HTML.
First, About the role: combine paragraphs.
We'll create a
containing the descriptive text.
We need to include: "As part of the Thermo Fisher Scientific team, you’ll discover meaningful work that makes a positive impact on a global scale. Join our colleagues in bringing our Mission to life every single day to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. We provide our global teams with the resources needed to achieve individual career goals while helping to take science a step beyond by developing solutions for some of the world’s toughest challenges, like protecting the environment, making sure our food is safe or helping find cures for cancer."
Then Division/Site Specific Information: "Position will sit onsite at the Florence, SC site and will support the Drug Substance Division (DSD) at Thermo Fisher Scientific. This role, reporting to the Automation Manager, ensures the flawless support, maintenance, and implementation of automated systems at our Florence, South Carolina location."
Then Discover Impactful Work: "As a Senior Automation Engineer at Thermo Fisher Scientific, you will optimize production processes, implement new automation technologies, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. You'll work with cross-functional teams to ensure the efficient manufacture of high-quality products while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. This position offers the opportunity to contribute meaningfully by enabling our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer through innovative manufacturing solutions."
Then A Day in the Life: "You will provide design, configuration, installation, and maintenance of automation software and associated hardware; including interacting with other teams as necessary.Working with IT, Quality, Production, and other departments, you'll optimize existing automated processes while ensuring consistent product quality and regulatory compliance.Your analytical skills and engineering expertise will help drive cost reductions, improve efficiency, and enhance manufacturing capabilities across our operations.Design, configure, and troubleshoot industrial I/O systems, including sensors, actuators, and field instrumentation, ensuring accurate signal mapping and reliable integration with control systems."
We can combine into one or multiple
tags. Probably separate paragraphs for readability.
Now Responsibilities: list items.
We need to capture all responsibilities from Key Responsibilities and earlier tasks.
List:
